The golden-collared manakin (Manacus vitellinus) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Colombia and Panama. The golden-collared manakin was originally described in 1843 as Pipra vitellina. It was later assigned to genus Manacus that Carl Linnaeus had erected in 1766.
The further taxonomy of the golden-collared manakin is unsettled. The IOC, the Clements taxonomy, BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World, and the American Ornithological Society (AOS) treat it as a species with these four subspecies:
The independent South American Classification Committee, formerly part of the AOS, treats the four taxa as subspecies of the widespread white-bearded manakin (M. manacus) as did many other taxonomists during much of the twentieth century. The SACC recognizes that their treatment is probably not correct and is seeking a formal proposal to change it.
This article follows the IOC et al. model. The golden-collared manakin is about 10 to 12 cm (3.9 to 4.7 in) long and weighs about 15... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-collared Manakin sighting in Cali on a given day, based on 86 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 83rd most-seen of the 226 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March, September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-collared Manakin in Cali on a given day, against under 5% in April–August, October and December–January, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden-collared Manakin sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Of the 2 cities where we can rate Golden-collared Manakin sightings, Cali has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Panama City (Panama, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-collared Manakin is recorded against all the birds logged in Cali (86 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
